A BUSY COMMISSION.
Hearing Complaints and Unraveling
Knotty Legal Points.

WASHINGTON, June i&s The Interstate
Commerce Commission spent the Clay in
hearing the complaint of the Chicago and
Alton Railroad Company against the Penn
sylvania Railroad q anpany and the Penn
sylvania Company tor refc~;H~ to exchange
business with the Alton compauy because
the latter would not come into an agree
ment not to by commissions to agents,
The Alton comp6ny eharg': utree distinct
zfD'"''?Is Sho Counsel p for S the llyania a&
people laid it down in 50 mkly{rol lsitions
that the Pennsylvania Company Aces not
render itself bnoxious to the interstate
commerce laF If it concludes that it will
sell no tickets whatever for any other COM
pany1in tho United States That it may
elect to sell tickets over one foreign railroad
and exclude all the other rairoads in the
United States, and> shat no trih .nafhas any
right to question its Judgment u I matter
4 THEIR BROAD PRoPosITIo}s
That the Pennsylvania company may elect
to sell tickets over all except one foreign
road, and rsfuse to sell for that road. he
maintained that the sale of tickets over
another road as not pertaining to the duties
of the company as a common carrier was
neither mentioned nor contemplated as a
duty imposed upon the persons mentioned in
the act 1t is only in respect 70 the exeycise
of its peculiar functions as common car lers
in the transportation of persons or property
that the law applies, or that the. Pennsyl-
vania company can be compelled to act i'll
the same manner toward all persons and,
corporations. The broad question is, may
the railroad companies, whose termin con-
meet, negotiate with each other for the
arrangement of the terms upon which
through tickets shall be issued over their
own lines, or does the law compel such com
panies mutually to issue tickets over each
others lines and compel one TO accept all
the tickets of the other lines without an
agreement.
Tomorrow the complaint of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific against the New
York Central, a case similar IA many re-
spects to that heard to-day, will come up.

JOHN BRIGHTs APOLOGY.
He Likes Gladstone but not His Policy
Da1nata in the Com mona

He Likes Gladstone but not His Policy
Debate in the Commons.
LONDON, June 16.-John Bright has writ
ten to Mr.. Gladstone an apology for inaccu-
rately quoting his Swansea speech and ac-
cusing him Of talking of Ireland "as if there
was no province of Ulster" the fact being
that Mr. Gladstone made long and dis
tinct reference TO Ulster and its peculiar in
terest in the home rule question. Mr.. Bright
saws he made his somewhat inaccurate
quotation from memory" He adds II still
contend, however, that there is no hope in
Mr.. Gladstone's promise to considtA the case
Of Ulster ProtestantS in his plan ~ settling
the Irish question. Mr.. Gladstone must
know that any plan Of dealing with Protest
ants, apart from the rest OF the population
of Ulster, is impossible. The recent astound-
ing revelations made by the Times MUST
have increased dread UAr
to be subjected to the 'ParnefX
rule. The letter concludes as follows: "a
prieve that | cannot act with you as in tho
years past, but my judgment and conscience
forbid it. If have said word that seems
harsh and unfriendly, will osk you TO for
give it,"
